Wolves vs Ipswich Town Premier League Prediction Match Details
Wolves will welcome fellow struggling Ipswich Town to Molineux Stadium on Saturday for the Premier League matchday 16 encounter. Both teams are under serious pressure to avoid relegation.
Wolves Preview & Form
Gary O’Neil faces the mounting pressure of losing his job after his team made a poor start to the new campaign, as they are currently battling to avoid relegation. Wolves are currently on a three-match losing streak in the league and have only recorded two wins from their opening 15 matches. They were beaten 2-1 in their last league match by West Ham United at the London Stadium, with the result leaving them four points from safety in the Premier League. Defense has been the major issue for Gary O’Neil’s side this season, as they have the worst defense in the league, having conceded 38 goals from their opening 15 games.
Wolves have also been poor this season at home as they failed to build on their only win against Southampton. They’ve lost four of their last six at home, with their last home league match ending in a 4-2 loss against Bournemouth.
Ipswich Town Preview & Form
Ipswich Town are also struggling with form since their dream arrival in the top flight this season, as they have been battling to remain in the league next season. The Tractor Boys are currently on a three-match losing streak and are winless in their last four matches. Their latest league outing saw them lose 2-1 to Bournemouth at home despite taking a first-half lead through Conor Chaplin’s goal, but conceding twice inside the final three minutes saw them lose all three points. Their only win since arriving in the top flight was a much-needed 2-1 win over Tottenham away. Currently, they sit 18th in the league standings with nine points from their opening 15 league matches.
Kieran McKenna’s men have also been poor when playing away from their home soil this season. However, they will feel confident against their fellow struggling Wolves, having beaten Tottenham 2-1 and playing draw against Manchester United to end their disastrous run of away form.
